ONTAINS  350  photographs  of  leaders  in  American

some  of  the  most  prominent  men  and  women  in  the 
church. 

f  Each  visitor  to  the  Celebration  should  buy  a  copy  for 
himself  and  mail  others  to  the  folks  at  home.  It  will 
be  a  handsome  gift  to  members  of  your  family,  or  your 
Sunday  School  class,  to  friends  who  could  not  come  to 
the  Celebration,  but  who  would  appreciate  getting  into 
its  atmosphere,  to  your  pastor,  or  to  anyone  else  who 
likes  to  keep  in  touch  with  great  world  movements. 

Copies  ready  for  mailing  may  be  obtained  at  headquart¬ 
ers  or  at  the  stands  throughout  the  grounds.

Methodist  Centenary  Celebration 


NOON  SILENCE  FOR  PRAYER 

Following  a  custom  which  meant  so  much  to  our  country  during  the 
war,  every  day  at  twelve  o’clock  noon,  at  the  Exposition  Grounds,  the  siren 
will  blow  for  one  minute  of  prayer.  It  is  requested  that  this  moment  of 
devotion  be  observed  by  visitors  and  all  others  on  the  grounds  and  that  so 
far  as  possible  absolute  silence  be  maintained.

THE  ASBURY  BUILDING 

A  score  of  agencies  and  boards  of  the  church  have  representation  at 
Columbus  in  the  Asbury  building.  Following  are  the  principal  exhibitors: 

THE  BOOK  CONCERN 

On  the  northern  side  of  the  building,  the  first  exhibit  is  that  of  the 
Methodist  Book  Concern,  representing  the  Methodist  Church,  the  Methodist 
Church  South,  and  the  Methodist  Church,  Canada.  A  representative  line  of 
books  on  all  subjects  relating  to  the  Centenary  Celebration,  and  an  extensive 
display  of  supplies,  charts,  requisites,  picture  postcards,  direct  from  foreign 
lands,  and  made  especially  for  the  Joint  Centenary  Committee,  will  be  found 
here.  All  of  the  literature  published  by  the  Joint  Centenary  Committee,  in¬ 
cluding  the  souvenir  book  of  the  celebration  will  be  available. 

Provision  has  been  made  for  recording  the  subscriptions  to  periodicals, 
including  The  Daily  Christian  Advocate  for  1920.  Three  attractive  features 
of  this  exhibit  are  replicas  of  the  new  statues  of  Asbury  and  Wesley,  and 
transparencies  showing  the  manufacture  of  books  and  periodicals. 

4 


THE  TREASURY  DEPARTMENT 

Adjoining  the  Book  Concern  exhibit  is  the  section  devoted  to  the  Treasury 
Offices  of  the  Mission  Boards. 

This  room, — the  headquarters  of  the  Treasurers  of  Methodist  Mission 
Boards,  contains  a  graphic  exhibit  of  great  interest  and  having  vital  im¬ 
portance  for  all  who  are  interested  in  investing  funds  in  Methodist  Missions 
^t  Home  and  Abroad.  Here  are  explained  the  Life  Annuity  Plan,  the  oppor¬ 
tunities  for  establishing  Memorials  and  all  the  other  financial  features  of 
the  Great  Enterprise. 

HOSPITAL  EXHIBIT  AND  FIRST  AID  STATION 

The  next  space  carries  an  exhibit  of  hospital  work,  and  houses  the  First 
Aid  Station  for  the  grounds.  Fully  qualified  physicians  and  nurses  are  in 
-constant  attendance. 

CHILD  WELFARE 

The  National  Child  Welfare  Association  has  been  given  the  next  section. 
Although  this  is  not  a  denominational  organization,  its  work  is  fundamental. 
The  exhibit  includes  a  statement  of  the  work  in  Child  Welfare  carried  out 
hy  various  Methodist  institutions. 

MINUTE  MEN 

The  walls  of  this  booth  are  decorated  with  a  frieze  of  Centenary  posters 
placed  in  Bulletin  Boards. 

Photographs  of  Minute  Men  from  all  over  the  country.  Area  Chairmen, 
Group  Chairmen,  all  National  officials,  and  other  photographs  of  interest 
adorn  the  three  walls  of  the  booth. 

A  Registration  book  for  Minute  Men  is  kept,  and  accommodations  pro¬ 
vided  for  letter  writing,  also  the  headquarters  for  Minute  Men  as  a  speaking 
Bureau  during  the  Celebration. 

BOARD  OF  TEMPERANCE 

The  final  exhibit  on  the  north  side  of  the  building  has  been  assigned  to 
the  Board  of  Temperance.  The  victories  won  will  be  duly  celebrated.  It  is 
understood  that  the  Revenue  Department  at  Washington  will  occupy  part  of 
the  exhibit,  showing  methods  of  law  enforcement,  and  the  vast  task  of 
making  the  whole  world  sober  will  be  displayed. 

LANTERN  SLIDE  AND  STEREOPTICON  DEPARTMENT 

The  first  space  on  the  south  side  of  the  building  is  given  to  the  Lantern 
Slide  and  Stereopticon  Department.  A  complete  display  is  made  of  all  the 
lantern  slide  lectures  used  by  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  the  Board  of 
Home  Missions  and  Church  Extension  and  the  Joint  Centenary  Commission. 

These  slides  in  complete  lectures  are  set  up  in  special  display  cases, 
so  that  visitors  may  examine  each  lecture  complete.  There  is  also  on  display 
the  various  standard  machines  that  this  department  sells  to  churches.  At¬ 
tendants  will  be  glad  to  demonstrate  these  machines  at  any  time  to  any 
visitor. 

This  department  is  also  arranging  to  give  the  various  other  exhibits 
automatic  projections  for  the  display  of  slides  illustrating  their  work,  and 
is  furnishing  the  necessary  machines  for  such  special  projection  work. 

“WORLD  OUTLOOK” 

Adjoining  the  Lantern  Slide  Department’s  section  is  the  exhibit  of 
■^‘World  Outlook.” 

Original  art  sketches  of  some  of  the  most  striking  World  Outlook  covers, 
in  full  color,  decorate  the  booth. 

Bound  volumes  of  all  issues  from  the  beginning  reveal  the  wealth  of 
pictorial  beauty  and  human  interest  in  the  magazine. 

Continuous  projector-scope  colored  lantern  slides  of  pictures  which  have 
appeared  in  World  Outlook  indicates  the  wide  range  of  subjects  treated. 

THE  AMERICAN  BIBLE  SOCIETY 

The  American  Bible  Society  occupies  the  next  section. 

The  Bible  Light  House  shows  specimen  copies  of  Holy  Scripture  printed 
in  nearly  200  different  languages  and  dialects. 

The  fascinating  story  of  translating,  printing  and  scattering  the  Word, 
is  graphically  told  by  enlarged  photographs  and  illustrated  charts. 

5 


COMMISSIONS  ON  FINANCE 

The  exhibit  of  the  Commission  on  Finance  is  found  in  the  adjoining 
space.  Here  is  displayed  certain  aspects  of  financial  fact  and  method  that 
are  vital  to  the  whole  program  of  the  church.  Pastors  and  District  Superin¬ 
tendents  will  find  this  booth  a  mine  of  information. 

EPWORTH  LEAGUE 

Great  values  for  the  Kingdom  lie  dormant  in  the  youth  of  the  church. 
In  Methodism  it  is  the  task  of  the  Epworth  League  to  cultivate  these  values 
and  bring  them  to  fruitage.  The  next  exhibit  is  that  of  the  Leagues. 
Methods  and  standards  for  each  of  the  constituent  departments  are  featured. 
The  display  of  the  Institutes  are  especially  attractive.  No  Leaguer  can 
afford  to  miss  a  visit  to  this  exhibit. 

RECORDS  OF  METHODISM 

Among  a  host  of  fascinating  and  informing  exhibits  to  be  displayed  in 
the  section  given  to  the  Centenary  Department  of  Statistics,  the  following 
may  be  read: 

How  the  fatal  mistake  of  the  first  Methodist  Centenary  cele¬ 
brated  in  1866,  can  be  avoided. 

Methodism  one  hundred  years  ago-  and  its  development  by 
quarter  centuries. 

Line  charts  showing  amounts  contributed  and  per  capita 
offerings. 

Records  of  each  pastoral  charge  in  the  connection. 

Charts  showing  what  we  have  done  and  what  we  have  promised 
to  do. 

Helps  in  working  a  district,  with  charts  and  suggestions  for 
district  superintendents’  use. 

Mobilizing  charts  showing  how  to  enlist  the  entire  membership. 

Tithing,  wage  and  coin  wheels  used  to  interpret  records. 

What  the  tithe  of  seventy  cents  per  day  would  do. 

The  present  danger  of  ministerial  non-support  as  related  to  the 
Centenary. 

BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

Few  agencies  of  the  church  perform  a  more  direct  service  to  the  youth 
of  our  denomination  than  does  the  Board  of  Education.  Its  program  is 
tastefully  displayed  in  the  section  following  Records  of  Methodism. 

THE  UNIT  SYSTEM 

Many  have  deprecated  the  passing  of  the  old-time  “Class  meeting.” 
Its  spiritual  values  were  beyond  calculation.  The  Centenary  has  witnessed 
a  quickening  of  spiritual  life,  and  the  re-emergence  of  unit  organization  within 
the  church.  The  concluding  exhibit  on  the  south  side  of  the  building  demon¬ 
strates  a  system  of  organization  within  the  local  church  that  conserves  the

success  when  presented  for  two  months  in  two  New  York  theaters,  have  been 
secured  as  an  added  attraction  to  the  great  exposition.  These  travelogues

European  battlefronts  he  was  fortified  with  credentials  from  Secretaries 
Daniels  and  Baker  and  the  Committee  on  Public  Information.  Military  com¬ 
manders  in  the  field  unhesitatingly  put  at  his  disposal  every  possible  means

SHRINES  OF  METHODISM 

For  the  devout  churchman,  the  Ohio  and  Miami  valleys  teem  with 
revered  associations  incident  to  the  introduction  of  Methodism  in  the  great 
Northwest  territory,  and  the  streets  of  Columbus  are  peopled  with  memories, 
infinitely  dear  to  Methodist  hearts,  of  the  men  whose  names  are  inseparably 
linked  with  the  century  of  missionary  progress  symbolized  in  the  Celebration. 

To  the  layman  who  is  less  familiar  with  church  history  and  more  in 
touch  with  politics,  Ohio’s  three  Methodist  presidents.  Grant,  Hayes,  and 
McKinley,  United  States  Senators  whose  constructive  statesmanship  met 
international  recognition  such  as  is  accorded  Sherman  and  Foraker,  both 
Methodists,  and  the  long  line  of  Buckeye  Methodist  governors,  headed  by 
Tiffin,  are  a  reminder  of  the  Methodist  church’s  influence  in  the  affairs  of 
state. 

For  the  mere  tourist,  on  pleasure  bent,  with  the  Centenary  scheduled 
as  an  incident  in  his  outing,  Ohio  holds  a  wealth  of  interest  in  prehistoric 
works,  places  of  historical  import,  and  scenery  of  unrivaled  beauty  and 
grandeur  which  may  be  enjoyed  enroute  to  and  from  the  Celebration  and 
in  short  trips  from  Columbus  as  a  center. 

Railroads,  traction  lines,  and  automobile  thoroughfares  leading  to  Ohio’s 
state  capital  follow  routes  traveled  by  the  early  Methodist  missionaries  who, 
in  the  role  of  Circuit  Rider  or  “Itinerant”  never  permitted  the  pioneer  in 
the  Northwestern  territory  to  forget  God.  The  Centenary  visitor  can  reach 
within  a  radius  of  fifty  miles  from  the  capital  square,  in  Columbus,  a  legion 
of  shrines  which  are  cherished  as  household  words  in  every  loyal  Methodist 
home. 

Standing  on  the  West  terrace  of  the  Ohio  State  House,  the  wayfarer 
looks  down  upon  the  impressive  statue  of  the  martyr  president,  William 
McKinley,  facing  the  old  Neil  House  where  he  lived  so  long  and  shedding 
benign  influence  over  the  motley  High  Street  throngs. 

11 


In  the  Northwest  wing,  just  off  the  rotunda,  he  will  find  the  suite  of  offices- 
which  both  McKinley  and  his  Methodist  Governor-President,  Rutherford  B. 
Hayes,  occupied  when  in  Ohio’s  Executive  chair. 

A  glance  across  Broad  Street  from  the  north  terrace  will  show  the 
sightseer  the  old  Doyle  residence,  now  yielding  to  commercial  uses,  where 
President  Hayes  lived  during  a  part  of  his  official  life  in  Columbus.  From 
the  east  steps  he  commands  a  view  of  Wesley  chapel,  the  second  Methodist 
church  erected  in  the  city,  transferred  from  its  original  location  in  High 
Street  to  Broad  and  Fourth  Streets,  and  sees  the  tops  of  the  white  outlines 
of  Carnegie  Library,  which  now  covers  the  site  of  President  Hayes’  other 
Columbus  home. 

In  imagination,  he  may  run  around  the  corner  of  Third  and  Broad  Streets, 
less  than  a  square  north,  past  the  house  in  which  T.  C.  O’Kane  spent  some  of 
his  boyhood, — O’Kane,  who  wrote  perhaps  more  Methodist  Sunday  School 
music  than  all  other  composers  of  his  day  counted  together.  The  building 
is  altered,  but  the  memories  abide. 

A  two  minute  walk  south  on  Third  and  west  on  Town  will  take  anyone 
interested  to  the  spot  where  the  first  Methodist  church  in  Columbus  stood — 
a  rude  half -finished  structure  when  Bishop  Thomas  A.  Morris  was  its  pastor, 
and  the  Rev.  Joseph  M.  Trimble  assisted  him  in  the  great  revival  of  1830, 
which  secured  for  Methodism  a  firm  foundation  in  the  state’s  political  center. 

It  is  well  worth  the  Methodist  pilgrim’s  time  to  take  an  auto  spin  out 
east  Broad  Street,  both  for  its  return  in  beauty,  as  the  most  pretentious 
street  of  Columbus  residential  sections,  and  that  he  may,  in  passing,  pay 
tribute  of  a  thought  at  the  long  time  home  of  Dr.  Joseph  M.  Trimble, 
opposite  Memorial  Hall,  in  Broad  near  Sixth  Street;  at  the  East  Broad  Street 
Methodist  church,  cornering  on  Washington  Avenue,  where  Bishop  Bashford 
often  filled  the  pulpit,  and  Bishop  Oldham  conducted  a  memorably  successful 
pastorate,  unique  in  that  it  drew  into  co-operative  interest  and  support  many 
outside  the  church  membership;  and  at  the  Oldham  Columbus  parsonage, 
which  stands  unchanged  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Broad  Street  and  Gar¬ 
field  Avenue. 

The  pleasure-seeking  tourist  will  drive  on  east,  through  Bexley, — even 
though  the  pilgrim  turn  back  toward  waiting  shrines, — and  envy  the  Colum¬ 
bus  Country  Club  members  their  exclusive  haven;  or,  he  may  choose  the 
picturesque  Alum  Creek  Road  up  Nelson  Avenue,  past  St.  Mary’s  of  the 
Springs,  in  full  view  of  the  Franklin  County  Childrens’  Home,  and  follow 
the  trail  of  Johnny  Appleseeds  along  the  Sunbury  Road,  where  that  quaint 
prototype  of  Maarten’s  “God’s  Fool”  scattered  seeds  of  religion  and  of  fruit 
together. 

Between  the  afternoon  conference  meeting  and  the  evening  pageant, 
there  will  be  ample  time  to  “cool  off”  in  the  motor  or  interurban  car  by 
running  out  into  Worthington,  where  the  Methodist  Childrens’  Home  Asso¬ 
ciation  of  Ohio  has  its  beautiful  two-hundred  acre  farm,  reaching  from  the 
pike — High  Street  extension — to  the  Olentangy  River.  Scores  of  Centenary 
visitors  are  to  enjoy  more  than  a  passing  call  at  the  Home,  since  the 
Trustees  have  opened  the  grounds  to  Centenary  campers.  A  drive  of  six  to 
seven  miles  over  excellent  roads,  or  a  trolley  ride  with  transfers  will  offer 
connection  with  the  Fair  Grounds — the  Celebration  site.  On  the  Childrens’ 
Home  property  are  several  fine  camping  locations,  one  next  to  the  grove 
of  the  Columbus  Epworth  League  Fresh  Air  Camp,  with  a  lovely  outlook, 
shade  and  living  water;  another  on  a  plateau  beside  the  glen,  and  a  third 
fronting  on  the  Columbus,  Delaware  and  Marion  car  line  and  the  pike. 

This  is  where  the  Council  Bluffs  District  has  secured  a  reservation  for 
the  caravan  which  will  motor  under  Dr.  Cable’s  direction  from  the  Mississippi 
to  the  Olentangy. 

No  longer  time  is  needed  to  visit  the  grave  of  Leatherlips,  Chief  of  the 
Wyandots,  in  Wyandot  Grove.  While  the  grounds  are  private  Club  property, 
the  hospitality  is  open  to  those  interested  in  the  tribe  of  Indians  which 
responded  to  the  Methodists’  first  home  missionary  efforts. 

At  Westerville,  little  more  than  a  half  hour’s  trip  by  auto — forty-five 
minutes  by  interurban — the  National  Anti-Saloon  Headquarters,  with  ex¬ 
tensive  printing  plant,  officered  for  the  most  part  by  Methodists,  will  lure 
many  to  inspection.  And  here,  it  must  not  be  forgotten,  in  one  corner  of 
Otterbein  cemetery,  overlooking  Alum  Creek,  where  the  singer  had  fished 
and  skated  when  a  lad  in  school  is  the  resting  place  of  Ben  Hanby,  whose 


12 


“Nellie  Gray”  will  be  sung  times  without  number  by  the  Centenary  Negro 
Jubilee  chorus.  A  retired  spot,  with  a  simple  stone,  marks  the  passing  of 
the  man  whose  best  monument  is  his  own  melody. 

A  half  day  or  more  should  be  set  aside  by  the  devotee  to  Methodism 
for  Delaware, — and  as  long  for  Lancaster,  if  time  is  elastic.  But  to  Dela¬ 
ware,  every  churchman  not  already  familiar  with  the  Ohio  Wesleyan  Uni¬ 
versity  grounds  and  buildings  and  with  the  homes  where  the  McCabes  and 
the  Thompsons  and  the  Paynes  and  the  Bashfords  and  the  O’Kanes  and  the 
Williamses  and  the  Elliotts  and  Merricks  went  in  and  out  must  go. 

Here  it  is  that  from  the  initial  steps  taken  August  25,  1841,  in  Urbana,. 
Ohio,  when  Drs.  Elliott,  Trimble,  and  Strickland  urged  conference  support 
of  the  establishment  of  a  Methodist  College  at  Delaware,  the  resourceful 
church  fathers  managed  to  enlist  and  school  a  great  host  which  has  helped 
to  win  for  the  Methodists  in  these  latter  days  the  proud  distinction  of  leading 
all  other  denominations  in  academic  and  in  collegiate  educational  privileges. 

Delaware  may  be  reached  from  Columbus  by  the  route  which  Dickens 
traveled  in  coach  or  by  the  more  attractive  Olentangy  River  Road,  passing 
Hayden’s  Falls, — or  better  still,  stopping  there  for  picnic  luncheon, — visiting 
the  Girls’  Reformatory  maintained  by  the  state  in  a  charming  location  on 
the  river  front,  and  then,  by  slight  detour,  into  the  pretty  college  town, 
rich  in  Methodist  associations. 

The  trip  to  Upper  Sandusky  is  not  too  far  from  the  Centenary  grounds 
when  taken  by  automobile,  and  may  be  conveniently  made  by  train.  Dr.  E.  D. 
Whitlock  said  in  an  address  at  Delaware,  “The  history  of  the  Wyandot  Mis¬ 
sion  and  its  founder  is  the  history,  in  epitome,  of  the  visible  Church  of  God. 
John  Stewart,  an  uneducated  negro,  the  spiritual  father  of  two  hundred 
aborigines  within  six  years  from  the  time  he  preached  his  first  sermon  to 
two  old  Indians,  is  the  intrepid  John  the  Baptist  of  that  great  army  of 
missionaries  that  lead  forward  the  militant  hosts  of  Zion.” 

There  is  no  room  for  doubt  that  many  Centenary  visitors  not  only  of 
John  Stewart’s  own  race,  but  from  the  church  at  large  will  go  to  Upper 
Sandusky  to  pay  tribute  to  the  memory  of  the  Founder  of  Home  Missions 
and  to  draw  new  inspiration  from  the  original  well-spring  of  consecration 
to  Life  Service. 

The  Lancaster  camp  grounds,  within  easy  automobile  or  traction  jaunt 
from  the  Celebration,  for  many  years  supplied  spiritual  awakening  for  Ohio 
Methodists  in  the  Southern  part  of  the  state  as  has  Lakeside  for  the  middle- 
west  churchmen  who  foregather  each  year  on  Lake  Erie’s  shore.  In  romantic 
grove  capping  Mt.  Pleasant  at  Lancaster,  Dr.  Earl  Taylor,  head  of  the 
Centenary  Commission,  Bishops  Bashford  and  Oldham,  Revs.  Sam  Jones  and 
Sam  Small  have  been  heard  by  thousands. 

Points  of  interest  easily  touched  enroute,  whether  by  railroad  or  auto¬ 
mobile,  suggest  that  home  of  early  Methodism — Lebanon,  when  genial  Tom 
Corwin, — too  great  to  need  his  official  titles,  had  his  own  vine  and  fig  tree; 
Warrenton,  in  Jefferson  county,  where  Methodism  was  first  preached  in 
Ohio;  Marietta,  where  Rev.  Robert  Manly,  of  the  Baltimore  conference,  and 
Bishops  Asbury  and  McKendree  established  church  centers;  Cincinnati,  made 
kin  to  every  Methodist  family  through  the  Advocate,  and  linked  with  the 
Columbus  Centenary  traditions  through  the  fact  that  Miss  Carter,  one  of 
the  first  Methodist  “Society”  or  church  members  in  Cincinnati — eight  persons 
in  all,  organized  in  1798,  became  later  the  wife  of  Ohio’s  war-governor, 
Dennison. 

While  the  pilgrim  tourist  is  visiting  the  haunts  of  the  Mound  Builders, 
he  may  retrace  trails  where  Tiffin  and  Harr  preached  Methodism  before  the 
first  steam  boat  made  its  initial  trip  up  the  Ohio  River  in  1811, — seven  years 
before  steam  was  used  on  Lake  Erie,  more  than  three-score  years  before  the 
first  railroad  train  was  running  through  Ohio. 

He  may  travel  where  Bishop  Asbury  preached  when  his  salary  was 
$64.00  for  an  entire  year,  where  Henry  B.  Bascom,  afterward  Bishop,  “for 
the  love  of  working”  covered  in  his  first  year  5,000  miles,  preached  400 
sermons  and  received  $12.00;  where  the  average  salary  of  the  Methodist 
minister  was  $27.50  in  the  great  Northwest  territory,  and  many  said  then 
as  now  that  “all  preachers  were  in  it  for  the  money!”  Shrines  of  sacrifice 
and  of  personal  consecration, — spiritual  shrines  not  made  with  hands,  set  up 
at  first  in  cabin  and  in  grove,  in  school  house,  in  humble  church,  and  in¬ 
spiring  much  of  the  strength  and  the  character  of  the  nation  of  today.

EXHIBIT  BUILDINGS 

AMERICA  No.  1 

The  American  Buildings,  standing  in  the  center  of  the  exposition  grounds, 
typify  the  place  which  America  holds  in  any  world-wide  enterprise.  Today 
especially  the  eyes  of  the  world  are  upon  America.  Here  we  have  the  purest 
form  of  democracy  known  to  the  world,  contrasted  with  the  other  nations  of 
the  earth.  Here  the  open  Bible,  the  free  school  and  the  Christian  home  have 
builded  a  civilization  which  now  must  steady  the  world  in  the  upheavals  of 
many  races  and  nations  of  men.  This  central  place  which  America  holds  in 
the  world’s  thought  means  that  her  imperfections  must  be  removed,  her  life 
pi  r  lied,  her  many  divergent  groups  unified,  and  the  processes  of  education, 
Americanization  and  Christianization  must  penetrate  every  nook  and  corner 
of  our  great  land. 

The  American  buildings  show  America’s  varied  life,  as  colorful,  romantic 
and  attractive  as  can  be  found  any  place  in  the  world.  How  the  Christian 
Church,  through  its  educational,  evangelistic  and  community  service  agencies, 
is  helping  to  “crown  America’s  good  with  brotherhood”  is  revealed  in  the 
American  buildings.  Numbers  1  and  2. 

From  the  central  plaza,  the  entrance  to  American  Building  Number  1 
is  the  way  into  a  broad,  crowded,  jostling  city  street.  Down  past  the  crowded 
ways  of  life  where  the  big  policeman  stands  with  his  semaphore,  giving  in¬ 
formation  and  directing  the  crowds,  there  is  the  City  Green  where  the  chil¬ 
dren  frolic  and  play  out  to  the  water’s  edge.  Beyond  stretches  the  great  ocean 
and  the  Statute  of  Liberty  welcomes  the  nations  of  the  earth  to  our  friendly 
shores.  To  the  right  the  ferry  house,  a  typical  scene  from  old  New  York,  is 
the  gateway  through  which  the  immigrants  come  from  Ellis  Island.  Classi¬ 
fied  and  tagged,  with  their  quaint  costumes  of  the  old  world,  their  bags  and 
bundles,  they  pour  in  at  this  gate  and  are  swallowed  up  in  the  great  life  of 
the  city,  farm  and  town. 

On  one  side  of  our  city  street  is  a  substitute  for  the  passing  saloon,  a  club 
for  men  seeking  wholesome  recreation  and  the  fellowship  which  the  men  of  the 
street  demand.  The  bar  with  its  mugs  and  bottles  has  disappeared  and  in  its 
place  there  is  a  modern  soda  fountain. 

Next  to  the  converted  saloon,  are  the  Good  Will  Industries  made  neces¬ 
sary  in  our  great  cities  by  the  ravages  of  poverty  and  always  in  the  neigh¬ 
borhood  of  the  old  saloon.  Here  the  waste  material  from  the  homes  of  the 
city  is  brought  in  great  bags  on  motor  trucks.  Here  men  and  women  are  being 
given  a  chance  to  live  an  honest  and  decent  life.  They  sort  the  waste  material, 
fumigate  it,  clean  and  repair  it,  and  offer  it  for  sale  in  the  Good  Will  Stores. 
Nothing  is  thrown  away  in  this  establishment.  Everything  from  old  shoes  to 
chairs  and  pianos  are  renovated  and  sold.  It  is  no  money-making  institution 
either,  the  income  being  devoted  entirely  to  good  wages  and  the  starting  of 
men  and  women  on  the  road  to  normal  and  prosperous  living. 

In  this  part  of  the  city  also  there  is  liable  to  be  “labor  disturbances”  in 
the  crowded  and  stifling  shop — the  men  and  women  growing  weary  of  being 
exploited  in  a  cruel  system  of  work  for  profits  and  rebelling  against  every¬ 
thing  that  keeps  them,  from  their  God-given  chance  for  a  full  and  abundant  life. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  street  there  is  the  moving  picture  house,  with 
its  programs  of  pictures  and  illustrated  lectures  to  attract  the  multitudes. 
Nearby  stands  the  church  where  everything  that  a  city  church  ought  to  be  is 
typified.  It  is  well  advertised.  Its  bulletin  board  is  a  model.  Its  services  are 
stimulating  and  attractive.  Next  to  the  entrance  to  the  place  of  public  worship 
is  the  door  to  the  church  parish  house,  a  great  social  center  welcoming  all 
classes  and  all  ages  from  the  city  streets.  Just  at  the  entrance  to  the  building 
is  a  modern  church  office  in  which  are  displayed  the  latest  and  best  methods  of 
work  in  city  churches. 

The  importance  of  various  kinds  of  pastoral  and  personal  evangelism,  es¬ 
pecially  as  a  factor  in  home  missions  will  be  set  forth  in  a  remarkable  series 
of  demonstrations  dealing  with  industrial,  social  and  moral  conditions  in  our 
great  cities  among  all  classes  of  people.  Meetings  for  different  groups  in  the 
church,  onen  air  preaching  and  the  guiding  hand  of  the  church  in  industrial  dis¬ 
putes  will  be  essential  parts  of  this  section. 

Here  in  the  crowded  street  the  great  dramas  of  city  life  are  enacted,  the

coming  of  the  immigrants  and  their  devious  and  sometimes  doubtful  contacts 
with  the  new  world;  the  forces  that  are  dark  in  the  city’s  life  yielding  at  last 
to  the  influence  of  the  light  of  Christ,  creating  the  city  beautiful.  All  this  and 
much  more  the  visitor  will  And  in  that  part  of  the  exposition  which  shows 
America’s  city  life. 

No  greater  contrast  could  be  found  than  that  which  lies  beyond  the  city’s 
streets, — the  Frontier,  the  Indians  and  the  Alaskans  showing  the  primitive, 
romantic  and  challenging  phases  of  American  life.  The  Eskimo  in  his  iglo 
and  the  ice  blocks  portray  the  cold  cheerless  Northland.  There  are  also  the 
Alaskan  Indians  and  their  native  houses  and  the  totem  pole  which  stands  for 
their  primitive  religion.  The  scenes  about  portraying  the  whaling,  mining  and 
agricultural  industries  show  the  varied  economic  aspects  of  America’s  “last 
frontier,” 

The  first  group  of  American  Indians  to  attract  our  attention  are  the  Pueb¬ 
los.  Their  adobe  hut  speaks  of  the  unknown  Southwest  and  the  deft  and  pa¬ 
tient  pottery  maker  reveals  the  charm  of  these  ancient  people. 

Nearby  the  Navajos  are  weaving  their  rugs.  The  primitive  wickup  is  their 
simple  home.  Beyond,  in  their  picturesque  teepees,  the  plains  Indians  present 
not  merely  a  picture  of  the  past,  but  show  their  faces  turned  toward  the 
future  and  that  they  will  take  their  places  in  American  citizenship  and  ren¬ 
der  their  contribution  to  American  life. 

Other  features  in  the  frontier  are  those  that  are  making  the  great  states 
from  the  mountains  to  the  sea  so  attractive  to  hundreds  of  settlers,  prospec¬ 
tors,  fruit-growers  and  rangers.  The  economic  life  of  the  frontier  is  revealed 
in  the  irrigation,  mining  and  oil  field  scenes.  The  cow  boys,  real  fellows  from 
the  “Wild  West,”  furnish  entertainment  in  exhibitions  of  skill  of  their  life 
in  the  romantic  frontier. 


AMERICA  No.  2. 

The  entrance  into  American  Building  Number  2,  leads  at  once  to  the  dis¬ 
play  of  photographic  enlargements  showing  the  art  and  practical  usefulness 
oi  this  department  of  education  in  home  missions.  This  exhibit  shows  what  is 
involved  in  photographing  America,  the  wide  travel  necessary,  the  selection 
and  composition  of  subjects,  care  in  manufacturing  and  the  uses  to  which  the 
pictures  may  be  put  in  making  Americans  acquainted  with  their  own  country. 

In  one  corner  of  this  building  is  the  negro  exhibit.  The  rural  life  negro 
of  the  Southland,  the  men  and  women  of  the  cotton  patch  showing  the  raw 
material  with  which  the  processes  of  education  and  religion  must  begin. 
Around  the  simple  cabin  home  is  shown  the  fundamental  place  of  religion, 
music  and  good  fellowship  in  the  life  of  the  rural  negro.  What  the  Church, 
with  its  schools  and  churches,  has  done  and  is  doing  among  the  negroes  is  the 
theme  of  the  second  part  of  the  negro  exhibit.  What  the  negro  has  actually 
accomplished  in  agriculture,  the  trades,  the  professions,  government  service, 
art,  music,  literature,  etc.,  is  told  by  living  exponents  of  the  best  in  the  race. 
A  complete  story  of  the  work  of  the  churches  and  schools  founded  and  main¬ 
tained  by  the  Churches  south  and  north  are  graphically  set  forth  by  pictures 
and  diagrams. 

The  Hindus,  Japanese,  Chinese  and  Koreans — the  Orientals  in  America — 
have  their  story  told  in  maps,  charts  and  pictures.  These  people,  though 
not  numerous,  constitute  one  of  the  most  challenging  Americanization  and 
Christianization  problems  facing  the  American  people.  If  the  desire  of  these 
people  to  be  Americans  and  to  participate  normally  in  our  American  life,  could 
be  matched  by  the  eagerness  of  our  own  people  to  receive  them  and  associate 
with  them  in  the  normal  experiences  of  life,  the  whole  process  of  their  Amer¬ 
icanization  would  be  much  easier. 

“Mexamericans,”  a  new  name  recently  coined  for  the  immigrant  from  our 
sister  Republic  across  the  Rio  Grande,  are  given  a  place  in  the  exhibit  propor¬ 
tionate  to  their  numbers  and  importance  as  a  problem  in  our  national  life. 
Here  the  Mexican  border  is  shown.  Almost  everything  except  Villa  himself 
and  his  band  of  outlaws. 

There  is  the  International  Bridge  with  the  Mexicans  coming  by  the  thou¬ 
sands,  with  no  restrictions,  without  education,  with  only  a  blind  loyalty  to  an 
ancient  church,  superstitious,  but  with  a  responsiveness  to  fellowship  and 
kindliness  so  characteristic  to  Latin  peoples.  The  plaza  is  the  center  of  their 
interest  in  American  cities.  It  is  in  the  midst  of  their  own  section,  where  the

plastered  adobe  houses  imported  from  over  the  border,  make  “the  Mexican 
quarter”  seem  like  bits  of  a  foreign  world  set  up  in  our  free  states. 

The  specific  problems  of  Americanizing  the  newer  immigrants  are  shown 
in  charts  and  pictures.  A  wonderful  electric  sign  shows  the  interplay  of  the 
forces  between  Europe  and  America,  an  exhibit  that  needs  long  and  careful 
study  by  every  true  American. 

The  spirit  of  community  organization,  work  and  neighborliness  is  depicted 
by  charts  on  rural  organization,  and  by  a  short  morality  play  on  country  life 
wherein  the  church  helps  the  countryman  to  remain  true  to  his  ideals  in  com¬ 
pany  with  the  symbolic  figures  representing  tne  woods,  the  waters  and  the 
fields.  The  spirit  of  neighborliness  is  depicted  in  another  play  entitled  “Neigh¬ 
bors.”  The  problems  of  the  farm  woman  are  shown  through  a  life  demon¬ 
stration  called  “The  Parson’s  Triumph.”  The  wholesome  leadership  of  the 
minister  and  his  understanding  of  rural  economic  and  social  problems  affects 
the  happiness  and  spiritual  life  of  this  entire  family. 

The  co-operative  agencies  which  make  for  a  better  developed  and  more 
wholesome  rural  life  and  the  way  in  which  the  rural  minister  may  make  use  of 
these  opportunities  is  indicated  by  a  baby  health  conference  which  is  conducted 
as  it  might  be  in  a  rural  community  with  the  co-operation  of  the  state  and 
the  United  States  Department  of  Health,  the  Children’s  Bureau  in  Washing¬ 
ton  and  the  rural  health  nurse,  and  local  physicians.  Then,  the  boys  and  girls 
club  work,  types  of  educational  and  recreational  activities  for  which  the 
church  may  furnish  adequate  leadership,  is  shown  in  another  section,  with  in¬ 
formation  regarding  methods  of  co-operation  with  the  state  departments  of 
agriculture.  A  county  library  is  next  seen.  Here,  books  which  may  be  secured 
as  a  nucleus  of  a  library  for  churches,  organizations  and  homes  may  be  seen 
and  it  is  hoped  that  church  people  may  give  their  support  to  furthering  this 
type  of  state  activity.  A  rural  community  building  illustrates  recreational  life. 
Charts  and  maps  depict  the  activities  of  leading  pastors  in  rural  communities 
and  illustrate  the  relationship  of  the  church  to  community  life.  Rural  indus¬ 
trial  problems  are  shown  by  a  mining  scene  in  which  life  demonstrations  of 
the  home  and  labor  unrest  are  portrayed. 

The  central  court  of  American  Building  Number  2  is  devoted  to  a  part  of 
the  Mexamerican  exhibit  and  the  Porto  Rico,  the  Highland  people  and  the 
Hawaiian  exhibits.  In  the  Porto  Rican  exhibit  the  future  possibilities  of  this 
territory  are  fully  realized,  and  the  rapid  advances  already  made  by  Uncle 
Sam  and  the  Protestant  Churches  are  clearly  shown.  How  illiteracy,  supersti¬ 
tion,  disease,  immorality  are  giving  away  before  the  forces  of  the  school  and 
the  church  make  Porto  Rico  one  of  the  most  interesting  studies  in  the  Amer¬ 
ican  Buildings. 

The  Highland  people  of  the  Southern  mountains  have  always  appealed  to 
loyal  Americans.  Their  isolation,  illiteracy  and  simple  though  fundamental 
virtues  have  aroused  the  interest  of  thousands  in  these  descendants  of  old 
American  stock.  It  will  surprise  many,  therefore,  to  know  how  the  moun¬ 
tains  have  changed.  Our  traditional  thinking  about  unkempt,  illiterate,  primi¬ 
tive,  superstitious,  moon-shining  life  must  go.  It  is  the  best  in  the  mountains 
that  now  attracts  and  holds  and  the  contribution  which  these  sturdy  people 
are  to  make  to  American  life  is  becoming  more  and  more  apparent. 

The  Hawaiian  Islands  in  the  mid-Pacific  astonish  us  at  once  with  their 
varieties  of  peoples.  There  are  Chinese,  Japanese,  Koreans,  Filipinos  and 
native  Hawaiians.  Look  for  them  all  at  the  exhibit.  Here  is  a  complicated 
racial,  religious  and  social  problem,  the  solution  of  which  is  significant  to  the 
whole  Orient. 

Out  in  the  open  veranda  beyond  American  Building  Number  2  is  an  ex¬ 
hibit  that  tells  a  mighty  story  of  the  great  new  industrial  problem  of  the 
Southeast  Atlantic  sea-board.  The  textile  industry,  the  center  of  w^hich  was 
once  in  New  England,  has  produced  the  social  and  moral  problems  of  the  mill 
villages.  Here  have  been  the  outstanding  problems  of  child  labor  and  the  ex¬ 
ploitation  of  family  life  before  the  exacting  demands  of  the  great  factory. 
How  children  can  get  an  education  in  the  midst  of  the  drive  of  the  busy  looms, 
is  shown  in  w'hat  the  textile  industry  institute  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  South  is  doing  and  plans  to  do  on  a  great  fund  in  Spartanburg,  South 
Carolina.  In  this  building  the  lecture  room  will  provide  an  opportunity  to  see 
pictures  and  hear  lectures  on  these  varied  and  interesting  types  of  American 
life.

AMERICAN  BUILDING  N?  2  COLUMBUS  EXHIBITION 


AFRICA 

Africa  is  our  great  continent,  and  in  order  to  give  the  feeling  of  atmos¬ 
phere  and  wide  expanse  of  country,  the  exhibit  has  been  planned  in  a  very 
open  way. 

A  great  African  Krall  occupies  the  center  of  the  building  and  in  this 
Krall,  which  is  a  great  stockade,  there  is  another  Krall  for  animals  of  the 
tribe.  There  are  also  the  homes  of  the  chief  and  his  five  wives.  Mud  houses 
with  straw  thatched  roofs.  All  the  implements  for  cooking  and  preparation 
^of  food  will  be  in  use  there,  and  the  constant  demonstration  of  African  life 
will  be  presented.  Around  the  walls  of  the  buildings  are  painted  vast  pan- 
'•oramas  of  country  scenes.  Palm  trees  in  the  warm  portions  and  growth  from 
^the  cooler  regions  give  variety  to  the  scenery. 

At  the  far  corner  of  the  building  one  enters  North  Africa;  a  Moham¬ 
medan  country  which  varies  considerably  from  the  rest  of  Africa.  Plere  is 
shown  the  tent  life  of  the  Arab,  who,  with  his  family,  roams  about  the  country, 
staying  for  short  periods  and  living  in  a  tent  made  from  the  dark  wool  of 
native  sheep.  The  necessities  of  life  are  few  and  of  the  simplest  forms.  All 
of  these,  however,  are  the  genuine  articles. 

Farther  down,  one  comes  to  the  land  of  the  Berbers,  who  live  on  the 
mountain  tops  of  North  Africa  not  far  from  the  coast  cities  of  Algeria,  Tunis 
and  Tripoli.  These  people  are  all  nearly  white  blood  and  are  light  skin  with 
dark  hair.  It  was  in  this  country  that  Christianity  started  in  the  very  early 
centuries.  Afterwards  it  was  almost  entirely  stamped  out  by  the  greatest 
of  persecution.  Ruins  of  all  Carthage  will  be  seen  in  one  of  the  panoramas, 
and  as  one  looks  at  these  evidences  of  early  Christianity  one  feels  that  we 
should  make  the  greatest  efforts  to  bring  back  to  this  country  a  religion  of 
what  it  once  had  and  lost.  The  Berber  home  with  its  equipment  and  the 
village  court  a  mosque,  where  the  religion  of  Mohammedan  prevails,  is  made 
prominent. 

A  great  chart  and  exhibit  of  things  from  all  parts  of  Africa  will  be 
found  in  the  far  corner  of  the  building.  Shields  and  spears,  beautifully 
wrought  by  tribes  who  have  little  culture,  and  grains,  food  products  and 
readily  made  cloth  with  bark  blankets  demonstrate  the  versality  and  good 
craftsmanship  which  are  almost  inated  in  every  community,  be  it  civilized  or 
uncivilized,  according  to  our  American  standards. 

CHINA 

Upon  entering  the  China  Building  there  arises  before  the  observer  the 
grey  walls  of  a  Chinese  city,  its  gates  flanked  by  beggars  and  small  mer¬ 
chants  selling  their  wares.  To  the  left,  one’s  eye  glances  backward  to  a 
farm-house  with  its  pleasant  garden  and  growing  vegetables,  with  the  hills 
and  beautiful  valleys  stretching  out  beyond.  A  gate-way  admits  one  to  the 
city.  A  tall  pagoda  with  its  idol  is  near  the  immediate  entrance.  On  either 
side  of  the  street  are  shops  and  homes.  At  the  distant  end  of  the  street,, 
which  according  to  Chinese  custom  is  closed  off  in  order  to  keep  the  spirits 
from  entering,  one  sees  the  fascinating  lines,  form  and  colors  of  a  street 
theatre  with  elaborate  tiled  roof  and  red  lacquered  screen,  where  from  time 
to  time  the  native  Chinese  plays  are  given,  and  where  also  Centenary  speak¬ 
ers  may  tell  the  story  of  Chinese  life  and  needs. 

The  home  life  which  goes  on  in  the  China  home  will  be  found  most  inter¬ 
esting.  The  furniture  and  furnishings  in  this  house  are  of  the  choicest  char¬ 
acter  and  genuine  in  every  detail.  The  reception  room  has  its  conventional 
arrangement  of  table  with  a  chair  on  either  side,  balanced  by  another  table 
with  two  other  chairs,  and  its  doorway  arranged  symmetrically;  its  vases  in 
pairs  and  cushions,  hangings  and  other  equipment  complete.  The  dining-room 
and  the  sleeping-room  and  kitchen  will  be  found  of  equal  interest. 

Farther  down  the  street  beautiful  embroideries  may  be  purchased,  as  well 
as  silks  in  plain  colors  of  damask  weave,  brocades  in  gold  and  red,  as  well  a:> 
blues  and  neutral  purple.  Printed  fabrics  of  cotton,  and  small  wares  of  brass 
and  pottery  can  be  had.  Two  great  memorial  gateways  are  at  the  center  of 
the  street.  Their  tiled  roofs  and  decorated  posts  lend  soft  glowing  color. 
Just  beyond,  a  restaurant  with  its  Chinese  tables  and  chairs,  which  have  no 
backs,  will  furnish  refreshment  for  the  hungry,  supplying  only  Chinese  food; 
tea,  cakes  and  a  full  course  dinner  cooked  and  served  by  Chinese.

AFRICA  BUILDING  COLUMBUS  EXHIBITION 


The  Daoist  Temple  at  the  end  of  the  street  has  its  entrance  well  guarded 
by  two  great  wooden  figures  or  guardian  gods  of  heroic  size.  Farther  in  are 
idols,  and  one  can  from  time  to  time  see  a  demonstration  of  the  Daoist  re¬ 
ligion,  which  deals  largely  with  spirit  forms  attributed  to  all  phases  of  nature 
and  animal  life.  These  spirit  forms  are  uncouth  and  lear  at  one  from  every 
corner  of  the  little  temple.  On  the  other  side  of  the  street  is  a  monastery  with 
its  cloister  and  cells  for  meditation.  A  China  fountain  and  garden  and  the 
simplicity  of  monastic  life,  and  at  last  the  glories  of  China  are  presented 
in  an  art  exhibit,  which  is  designed  to  show  the  wonders  of  painting,  carved, 
lacquer,  jade  and  bronze  work,  for  which  China  has  been  noted  for  the  last 
twenty  centuries.  In  this  exhibit  will  be  some  of  China’s  choicest  treasures. 

:  INDIA 

At  the  entrance  to  the  building  one  has  a  scene  spreading  out  before  the 
eye,  the  elaborate  temples  and  homes  of  India,  the  River  Ganges  where 
thousands  of  the  populace  and  pilgrims  from  all  parts  of  India  are  bathing 
in  its  unclean  waters.  Funeral  pyres  are  burning  at  the  water’s  edge,  and 
every  Brahman  hopes  to  have  his  ashes  cast  into  those  waters. 

Mohammedism  is  expressed  in  a  splendid  mosque  and  Hinduism  by  a 
temple.  The  two  buildings  confront  one  at  the  entrance,  and  are  as  different 
in  architectural  type  as  if  from  different  countries. 

Home  life  is  represented  in  the  Zenanna  of  the  high  caste  Braham,  and 
in  another  part  of  the  building,  homes  of  a  more  humble  type  will  show  the 
average  life  of  the  man  of  India. 

A  bazaar  scene  with  its  cloth  shops,  beautiful  silks  delicately  woven, 
dacca  muslins,  gold  embroidered  costumes  and  stuffs,  also  the  shops  of  the 
brass  merchant,  the  money  changers,  the  flower  girls  at  their  stalls,  the 
ancient  potter  making  his  water  pots  in  the  same  way  that  the  family  of 
Abraham  worked  thousands  of  years  ago.  Sweet  meats  can  be  purchased 
from  the  candy  makers  of  India.  A  magician  does  tricks,  and  the  public 
letter  writer  will  be  there  to  act  as  a  scribe  to  both  the  illiterate  and  the 
literate. 

Holy  men  are  in  the  market  place  torturing  their  bodies  that  their  souls 
may  be  purified,  and  occasionally  one  can  hear  the  muezzin  prayer  call  from 
the  minaret  of  the  mosque. 

The  daily  life  of  India,  with  its  joys  and  sadness,  is  represented.  Pro¬ 
fessional  mourners  follow  the  bereaved  ones  in  conventional  procession. 
A  wedding  scene  with  all  its  pomp  passes  through  the  street  and  the  child- 
wife  is  brought  into  momentary  prominence. 

The  educational  system  of  Indian,  from  its  primary  schools  through  the 
high  school,  college  and  theological  school,  is  fully  shown  and  demonstrated. 

India’s  political  and  commercial  activities  are  made  real  through  the 
agency  of  the  missionary,  who  will  explain  verbally  and  by  charts. 

The  missionaries’  camp  and  village  service  with  the  evangelist  and  the 
medical  missionary,  who  administers  to  the  sick,  will  be  there  to  set  forth 
the  life  of  ninety  per  cent,  of  the  people  of  India  who  live  in  villages. 

A  lecture  hall,  which  will  be  darkened  and  cool,  will  give  a  place  for  tired 
visitors  to  rest,  while  they  watch  pictures  and  pageants  which  tell  life  stories 
of  India.  A  moving  picture  will  be  given  daily  which  represents  the  con¬ 
version  of  Magan  Lai,  one  of  our  India  preachers,  from  the  worship  of  Kris- 
han  and  the  idols  of  Hinduism  to  Christianity.  The  film  is  of  thrilling  interest 
and  tells  the  pathetic  story  of  a  youn^  man  wandering  from  temple  to  temple 
until  at  last  he  met  with  the  Christians.  No  such  story  as  this  has  ever  been 
presented  in  the  history  of  the  movie. 

KOREA,  JAPAN,  PHILIPPINES,  MALAYSIA 

The  semi-circular  Kameido  (tortoise  well)  bridge  over  the  minature 
Shinji  no  Ike  or  “Pond  of  the  Word  Heart”  holds  the  gaze  by  its  very  unique¬ 
ness,  while  garden,  trees  and  purple  wisteria  call  to  mind  the  appellation  “The 
Flowery  Kingdom.” 

“Let  us  not  forget,”  writes  one,  “that  everything  about  a  Japanese  Home 
from  the  linen  binding  of  the  parlor  mats  to  the  shape  of  the  kitchen  tongs, 
has  a  physical  significance  in  addition  to  its  use.”  Here  the  Japnaese  husband, 
the  house-wife  and  the  children  in  native  costume  show  the  daily  home  life.

KW^NG  CITY.  CHINA  BUILDING  COLUMBUS  EXHIBITION 


The  Educational,  Social  and  Industrial  exhibits  are  to  be  seen  showing 
great  progress,  especially  rapid  since  our  own  Perry  in  ‘53  awoke  Japan  from 
her  long  nap. 

The  Kindergarten  of  Hiroshima  where  wee  tots  from  far  off  Japan  thrill 
you  with  the  possibilities  of  this  type  of  Christian  work. 

The  Evangelistic  Hall  contains  curiso  of  intense  interest  and  here  by 
means  of  charts,  etc.,  one  sees  the  religious  condition  of  Japan,  the  present 
force  of  workers,  and  what  the  Centenary  will  enable  Methodists  to  carry  out. 
After  mingling  with  the  shopkeepers  in  the  streets,  one  sips  a  cup  of  re¬ 
freshing  beverage  at  the  tea  house. 

The  graceful  arch  (torii)  is  the  entrance  to  grounds  where  priests  (kan- 
nushi)  present  offerings  reciting  certain  formal  addresses  partly  lauditory 
and  partly  in  the  nature  of  petitions.  Shinto,  which  is  the  Chinese  word  mean¬ 
ing  “the  way  of  the  gods,”  is  a  compound  of  nature  and  ancestor-worship. 
Here  these  people  of  the  gods  wash  their  hands,  worship,  and  “make  simple 
attempts  to  divine  the  will  of  their  gods.” 

The  Christian  preacher  and  the  Buddhist  priest  show  in  their  services 
the  conflicting  forces  at  work  in  the  Mikado’s  land.  The  native  Japanese 
explain  their  customs,  superstition  and  religion;  the  missionaries  tell  their 
experiences  ranging  from  long  rides  in  jinrikishas  (one  invention  at  least  to 
be  credited  to  their  class)  to  influencing  statesmen  to  acknowledging  Him  as 
“The  Lily  of  the  Valley.” 

To  put  the  Philippines  on  the  Mission  Map,  to  give  a  more  correct  idea  of 
the  Filipino,  to  show  something  of  the  moral  background  upon  which  we  must 
build,  and  to  enlighten  as  to  “What  kind  of  Christians  are  they?”  these  are 
the  reasons  for  Filipino  exhibit. 

The  people  you  see  are  a  fair  representation  of  the  inhabitants  of  the 
Islands.  Eager,  intelligent  young  men  and  women  who  are  the  products  of 
the  schools  established  by  kind  hearted  Uncle  Samuel,  and  who  are  the  fruits 
of  the  Evalgelical  Church. 

The  curios  are  not  to  give  the  idea  that  most  Filipinos  carry  spears  and 
head  axes,  but  to  show  that  many  of  them  can  do  fine  hand  work,  needle  work 
and  lace  work,  and  make  fine  hats  and  baskets. 

The  village  helps  to  show  that  in  customs  and  manner  of  work  we  are  the 
sam_e,  and  yet  different.  But  without  admitting  that  your  way  is  always  right 
and  ours  always  wrong.  We  are  slower  than  you,  but  we  are  more  patient. 

The  Malaysia  Exhibit  seeks  to  tell  the  story  of  that  group  of  tronical  is¬ 
lands  lying  southeast  of  Asia,  their  great  size,  their  vast  natural  wealth,  their 
fifty  millions  of  people,  and  their  religious,  social  and  political  future. 

The  crude  Dyak  hut,  the  grusome  skulls,  the  knives,  spears,  shields  and 
basketware,  and  native  clothes  tell  of  ten  million  primitive,  pagan  races  in  the 
jungles  of  Borneo,  Celebes  and  New  Guinea.  These  are  wild  peoples,  not  be¬ 
cause  of  mental  deficiency,  but  because  no  one  has  led  them  into  the  larger 
life.  They  cannot  stand  before  even  their  semi-civilized  neighbors.  Unless 
they  are  won  for  the  gospel  and  taught  to  care  for  themselves  they  must 
shortly  disappear. 

The  Japanese  house,  the  market  place  and  medical  exhibit  typify  the  so¬ 
cial  development  of  the  forty  millions  semi-civilized  folks  of  the  Malay  stock. 
Thirty-six  million  of  them  are  crowded  into  the  little  island  of  Java.  Hardy 
and  intelligent  they  have  yielded  to  the  faith  of  Islam,  which  puts  its  dead 
hand  upon  progress.  They  are,  however,  feeling  the  stirrings  of  new  life,  and 
thirty  thousand  already  can  testify  to  the  saving  power  of  Christ. 

The  Korean  house  will  present  the  family  life  of  the  Koreans.  In  the 
pavilion,  many  thousands  of  which  are  in  the  beautiful  scenic  spots  of  Korea, 
there  will  be  exhibitions  of  native  music  and  writing,  both  of  which  are  per¬ 
formed  by  Korean  gentlemen  in  moments  of  leisure. 

On  the  platform  adjacent  to  the  church  will  be  shown  the  old  school  life 
of  Unchristian  Korea,  with  its  apothesis  the  Christian  Mission  school. 

Here  will  also  be  shown  the  old-time  Korean  doctor,  who  later  became 
Christianized  and  a  graduate  of  our  medical  schools. 

A  sorceress  will  appear  in  her  incantations  and  weird  gibberish.  She 
later  becomes  a  Christian,  abandons  her  heathenish  practices  and  preaches  to 
the  women  of  the  adjacent  villages.

INDIA  BUILDING  -  COLUMBU5  EXHIBITION. 


A  Korean  wedding  and  a  Korean  funeral  will  be  staged  with  all  the  bi¬ 
zarre  medley  of  colors  and  sounds. 

The  drama  which  will  be  held  in  another  building  will  further  continue  the 
religious  note,  for  it  will  show  the  reformation  of  a  heathen  home. 

Korean  Christianity  at  its  best  will  be  further  portrayed  by  a  daily  cru¬ 
sade  of  Koreans  out  on  the  ground.  With  tract  and  Testament  in  hand  they 
preach  to  the  people  individually  even  as  they  have  done  thousands  of  times  to 
their  own  people  in  their  native  land. 

LATIN  AMERICA  AND  EUROPE 

The  European  section  shows  a  series  of  small  buildings,  homes,  eating 
places  and  other  typical  things  from  Russia  with  its  mosque  and  home  life 
scenes  and  demonstrate  with  its  historic  associations  for  the  fine  art  lover; 
and  here  a  scene  of  the  ruins  of  the  Coliseum  in  Rome,  and  there  a  view  of  the 
Villa  d’  Este  and  the  Rialto  in  Venice,  so  that  the  associations  are  quite 
familiar  as  one  passes  through  the  crooked  way  laid  out  between  these  coun¬ 
tries,  passing  at  last  into  France  and  into  Switzerland.  The  main  feature 
of  the  Eureopean  Exhibit  is  a  ruined  cathedral  of  noble  architectural  body. 
Its  vaulted  aisles  and  nave  are  partly  in  ruins,  showing  the  devastation  of 
war.  The  eye  travels  out  beyond  the  piles  of  debris  to  nearby  buildings 
whose  walls  are  broken  down;  a  village  stretching  out  in  the  distance  and 
beyond  this  the  hills  and  snow-capped  mountains  of  the  Alps.  On  the  other 
side  of  the  church  one  sees  a  similar  devastation  of  French  country  which  was 
once  smiling  with  well  ordered  gardens,  and  present  homes  now  a  scene  of 
shell  holes  and  desolation. 

As  the  weary  sightseer  sits  in  this  quiet  haven  and  hears  from  the  plat¬ 
form  a  great  program  announced  for  the  reconstructive  work  already  in  hand, 
there  is  a  combined  appeal  to  eye  and  ear  which  makes  the  war  a  great 
reality  and  also  makes  our  part  which  is  largely  reconstruction  a  thing  which 
can  be  accomplished  and  is  already  in  operation. 

In  Latin-America  the  scene  centers  about  a  bay  city  plaza,  and  the  great 
Cathedral  of  Lima  gives  a  fitting  back  ground  for  plays  and  demonstrations 
of  South  American  life.  The  eye  travels  out  from  a  broad  bay  with  its  ship¬ 
ping  interests,  and  we  picture  our  own  country  and  government  coming  into 
closer  relation  with  this  newly  opened  market.  Equipment  is  also  given  to 
the  wonderful  mountainous  country  of  South  America,  and  something  of  the 
condition  of  peonage  which  exists  throughout  all  Latin  America.  The  peon 
home  with  its  out-of-door  bake  oven  and  squalid  furnishings  is  placed  along¬ 
side  the  hacienda,  the  home  of  the  well-to-do  farmer. 

The  unity  of  origin  of  Latin- American  modes  of  life,  and  the  similarity  of 
climatic  conditions  throughout  most  of  those  countries,  have  led  to  a  rather 
striking  sameness  of  material  settings.  Houses,  utensils,  domestic  animals, 
modes  of  building,  ranching,  farming,  etc  prevail  in  each  of  these  countries  that 
are  much  the  same  as  in  the  other.  Instead,  therefore,  of  trying  to  separate 
the  exhibits  rigidly  on  national  lines,  a  number  of  ensemble  effects  have  been 
attempetd.  There  is  a  typical  Spanish- American  house,  with  its  two  open 
courts,  its  fixed  disposition  of  rooms,  etc.  There  is  a  typical  poor  man’s  house 
• — mud  v.'alls  (or  watered,  as  the  case  may  be)  and  thatched  roof.  It  might 
belong  on  the  mesa  of  Mexico  or  Peru,  in  the  hot  jungles  of  the  Amazon  or  the 
pampas  of  Argentina.  These  houses  are  placed  in  typical  settings,  common 
alike  to  all  countries,  and  both  surroundings  and  houses  have  about  them  an 
indefinable  suggestion  of  Bible  lands  and  times.  The  Moors  got  their  civil¬ 
ization  from  the  East,  by  way  of  North  Africa;  Spain  and  Portugal,  in  their 
formative  days  learned  much  from  the  Moors;  South  America  was  colonized 
vyhile  these  influences  were  still  potent.  Other  similarities  have  derived  from 
like  climatic  conditions,  products,  building  materials,  etc.

Lift  up  your  hands  and  grace  implore, 
That  we  like  them  may  valiant  be; 
Preaching  the  word  from  shore  to  shore, 
Till  all  mankind  in  Christ  be  free. 


Lift  up  the  Cross,  the  crimson  throne 
Tharson  the  Lord  of  life  hath  died, 
That  God  for  man  might  sin  atone, 
And  conquer  all  our  hate  and  pride. 


3 

Lift  up  your  voice  with  glad  acclaim 
Tell  to  the  world  Messiah’s  birth, 
Till  every  land  shall  sing  his  fame; 
His  scepter  rule  o’er  all  the  earth. 


5 

Lift  up  the  Christ,  the  glorious  King, 
Whose  truth  and  love  shall  ever  reign; 
Crown  Him;  let  all  the  nations  sing 
His  name,  whose  power  shall  never  wane.

Notes 


y^fter  the  Celebration 

Over^^^m 

HEN  YOU  return  home  and  your  friends  ask  you 
to  tell  them  who  and  what  you  saw,  it  will  be  much 
easier  to  do  so  if  you  can  just  take  the  Centenary 
Souvenir  and  show  them  the  pictures  of  the  grounds 
and  the  Celebration  features  and  some  of  the  beautiful 
spots  in  the  city  of  Columbus— especially  the  photographs 
of  the  Bishops  and  other  leaders  whose  names  you  will 
hear  mentioned  many  times  during  the  Celebration,  and 
who  will  be  prominently  identified  with  it. 

^  The  Souvenir  has  a  specially  designed  cover,  printed 
in  four  colors,  and  the  art  work  throughout  is  the  result 
of  the  best  work  of  artists,  photographers,  engravers, 
lithographers  and  printers. 

^  The  authors  were  carefully  selected,  and  are  authorities 
on  the  subjects  discussed.  Before  you  go  home,  be  sure 
to  buy  a  copy,  and  take  it  with  you. 

f  There  is  no  doubt  that  many  of  those  who  will  see  it 
will  wish  that  they  too  had  copies.  Better  buy  several  of 
them— be  gracious  to  your  friends  by  making  them  gifts 
of  this  beautiful  volume. 

^  The  large  quantity  printed  permits  us  to  sell  the  Souv¬ 
enir  at  a  very  low  price.  It  may  be  obtained  at  Head¬ 
quarters  and  at  the  stands  throughout  the  grounds.
